I can run one agent but no more than that - 404 service error.

Down as well. I noticed my error code ends with "DTW" which is my local Detroit airport. I noticed someone else's comment ended with "ORD" which is a Chicago airport. Anyone else's ending in an airport acronym?

The system goes online September 3rd, 2026. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Astra begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, September 4th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

Claude is flakey atm too, as is Grok. I wonder if one LLM going down causes a surge in traffic to the others. https://status.claude.com/ Via Grok web UI, I was seeing this mid-request: > Grok has been disconnected. Please try reconnecting.

Traffic surges shouldn't result in 404s, though.

IME it's probably DNS. It's almost always DNS.

Initially thought this was due to some internal mis-configuration from today's expected Astra release, but now that this is affecting claude and grok. I'm gonna assign the suspicion to cloudflare.
